      Pros

      worldwide reach, chance to cover a variety of subjects. The pay is pretty good compared to other news organizations that you will work for. Your job is probably more secure at Bloomberg, because they are more immune to changes in the economy than other news organizaiton because they cater more to the financial community

      Cons

      stifles creativity, work is repetitive. there is little coaching and professional development from higher ups. you can get easily stuck in a box covering the same thing over and over again, and find yourself writing the same stories five years later. When i left to go to a newspaper I had more experiences in a month than I did reporting for a year and a half in this office

      Pros

      It is great for a first job as you are exposed to different fields of work and quickly learn how things work and get client exposure. For somebody who wants to start in finances you can learn a lot and then move on. Also the work enviroment is nice, the teams mostly work well together, you go out in the evenings and the athmosphere is friendly.

      Cons

      The salary is quite bad considering the industry and what Bloombergs competitors pay. Managers are often incompetent, too young and obviously never received any kind of management training. Therefore (salary) reviews and promotions are based on managers preferences and not on your actual performance. There seems to be a huge divide between people that have been hired in the last 5 years and those that have been there longer. The senior staff seems to be paid well which results from the much better salary levels they had under Mike Bloomberg (or so they say) and then there are the younger ones, many of those leave the company after less than 2 years...

      Bloomberg is a company on the decline.

      Pros

      Bloomberg has a great compensation and benefits package. It is a good company to develop your career fresh out of college.

      Cons

      Bloomberg was a great place to work a few years ago. However in the last few years it has become increasingly bureaucratic. It has lost the vision and zeal of its founder, Michael Bloomberg. Today the same creativity and boldness that Michael Bloomberg encouraged is no longer an asset, in fact, it is discouraged. The user interface for its primary product is dated.
